Learn and practice a leader’s most valuable
asset: the ability to think and act creatively
We believe that leadership is the key to building a healthy
organization that can deal effectively with change. We
teach that leadership is the ability to create an
environment that enables everyone to contribute
productively. We focus on process rather than procedure, on
personal effectiveness rather than prescriptive strategies.
The Problem Solving Leadership workshop has been growing
and changing since 1974 to meet the changing needs of people
in the workplace. The fundamental principle, however,
remains the same: a leader's most valuable asset is the
ability to think and act clearly, creatively, and
congruently. This is what we teach.
Develop your own problem solving style
PSL is built on sound principles of adult learning theory,
general systems thinking, group process concepts, creativity
and congruent human interaction.
The simulations and other activities are designed to
involve you totally in the experience of improving your
problem solving effectiveness. You will take away an
increased awareness of your own problem solving style and
an understanding and appreciation of the styles of others.
You will see how valuing differences can enhance innovation
and increase, rather than constrain, your problem solving
options.
Work on issues of most interest to you...and
your organization
We have designed this workshop to be practical and
applicable to the modern workplace. Your problems and
concerns provide a frame of reference for all the workshop
activities. At the end of the workshop, when you review
your original learning objectives, you will discover that
you have reframed the original problems and gained insight
into the actual issues.
What you will learn
- to be a leader while being a member of a team
- to focus your thinking while in chaos
- to make change a productive, creative event
- to build truly effective teams
- to design projects people really want to work on
- to observe exactly what is happening
- to use tools of effective communication
- to handle conflict in problem solving groups
